Force using JSch instead of TortoisePlink on Windows ? [message #976620]

Hi all,

I've just jumped through some hoops getting Egit to work with ssh protocol against Eclipse Gerrit (which forces publickey authentication).

Turned out that Egit insisted on using TortoisePlink since I also had TortoiseGit and Msysgit installed - and the private keys that I had set up in Eclipse were not used at all. Details here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/TM/Git_Workflows#Windows_Install

While using TortoisePlink and Pageant makes sense once it is configured, it's also somewhat unexpected and I'm wondering (a) why EGit inists on picking up TortoisePlink and (b) how I could force it to use the internal JSch ?

Thanks,
martin

I should probably add that in my Msysgit Git Bash, I have this:

mober@SZG-MOBER-L3 ~
$ env | grep -i git
GIT_SSH=C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin\TortoisePlink.exe
PWD=/d/Workspaces/git
SVN_SSH=C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin\TortoisePlink.exe
HOME=/d/Workspaces/git
!D:=D:\Workspaces\git
GNUPGHOME=/d/Workspaces/git/.gnupg
HISTFILE=/d/Workspaces/git/.bash_history

Which is already somewhat confusing since ssh-keygen and ssh use a different ssh than git so "git clone ssh:..." may fail while sanity checking ssh by itself may work.

I'm not sure whether that is a default setting or how I got to that setup ... maybe because I had set up TortoiseSVN + Putty + Pageant at some time in the past for Subversive / Subclipse (which also required jumping through hoops, even harder than the git ones at that time).

I think this behavior matches what [1] says about the effect of setting GIT_SSH.
